2013 Headliners

[mr gumby]

I take it that Neil didn't reveal what the "unexpected - need to dig about a bit" potential headliner was all about, then?

[LondonTom]

...what does that even mean!?

[mattgimmeshelter]

Oh mick, you sly worded man.

I'm just abit afraid that they may be pressured into doing it! And that will result in them not putting on a set as great as it would be if they wanted to play :/

I think the Jagger quotes are quite interesting, this far in he knows exactly whats on the table for The Stones and the different permutations.. He didnt say no, I know he didnt say yes either but I can think of a number of reasons why he wouldnt confirm just now.

I'm going to be a glass half full guy on this one and see it as a positive (for those of us who would like to see The stones at Glastonbury).

I am NOT saying this means they will play, but I do see it as a little positive tilt in a positive direction.

I get quite confused with all the comments saying that it's all the bands choice. I thought that it was managers and producers that sort everything out, and the actual artist/band doesn't have much say in it at all?

Probably going to get a shed load of comments saying I'm wrong.

Here's the NME quotes:

Asked about the Stones' plans for the next 12 months, Jagger said: "Well, I'm just looking at what offers are coming in for this year and sorting them out. I hate announcing things when they're not booked. People are always like, 'Yakety yak, you didn't do that in the end', and I say, 'Well, yeah, we never really announced it!'"

He later added: "All I'm doing at the moment is sifting through the possibilities, looking at the dates and how each one can fit in and so on. And then we'll see what we can come out with." Asked if one of those possibilities was playing Glastonbury, Jagger said:

There are other things in the world, you know, apart from Glastonbury! But then again, Glastonbury is very important. It seems to be very important to my children – highlight of their year!

Later on in the interview, which you will find in this week's NME (available on newsstands now), Jagger dropped his most clear hint about The Rolling Stones playing this year's Glastonbury festival to date. Jagger asked: "But is it going to be rainy on the Sunday? Isn't it nearly always rainy on the Sunday?"

sunday is usually the day with the best weather, in the recent past anyway

[brettredmayne]

Interesting about his children love Glastonbury, that must be positive

Is the out of the blue headliner going to be Pugwall from TV in the 90's.

Always been on my must see tick off list and it would definitely be unexpected.

[Mardy]

Do your filters block swearing? Because Mardy was effing and jeffing a bit on the last page.

Either that, or it's because someone mentioned the Vaccines, and your filters are as sick of them as the rest of us!

[The Nal]

Jagger knows exactly how big Glastonbury is. Hes taking the piss there. The fact that he most likely sees it as an amateur setup, full of mindless jetsam is another matter. Can't drive a limo through the farm in the mud which probably puts him off.

[Big Vern]

clearly Mick is hinting at purple rain on Sunday and therefore Prince is Sunday's headliner.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Didn't actually think that he might be referencing prince? haha, he probably isn't but I didn't think of it in that way!

[Jack Nottm]

[GlastoSimon]

I'm sure they'll want their shows to have sold out before any appearance at Glastonbury is announced!

Even after all of these 'hints', I still don't think they'll do it!

[BlackHole2006]

Prince will headline.

[The Nal]

Even after all of these 'hints', I still don't think they'll do it!

[GlastoSimon]

When they sound as pedestrian as this - who cares?

Like a matinee funk band in a cheap Vegas hotel.

arctics - stones - prince

I could see it.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Or Maybe he's hinting Cliff.... Summer Rain!

[mattgimmeshelter]

Please don't even joke about cliff... scares me.
